ABSTRACT: Proboscis monkey
(Nasalis larvatus Wurmb) is a primate that included in the family of ercopithecidae.
Proboscis monkeys are rare and endemic animals of Borneo, they areprotected
species and classified in Appendix I of CITES with the conservation status areendangered
by the IUCN. The area of IUPHHK-HT PT. Bina Silva Nusa and itssurroundings are
the habitat of the proboscis with the mean mangrove forests and peatbogs. The
purposes of this research are to obtain data and information of the habitat of proboscis
monkeys in the area of IUPHHK-HT in the form of tree species, feed trees,sleeping
trees, water, temperature and humidity. The data collecting was limited on thelocation
that discovers the groups of proboscis monkeys and the sleeping place ofproboscis.
The research method was using terraced path to investigate the species of trees
and undergrowth as the habitat and the potential feed source tree and the tree
of sleep. The Habitat of proboscis monkeys on the three type of forest
relatively had good vegetation structure. There are 21 species of trees and
undergrowth was found as a food source andalso used as a sleeping tree. The
preferred tree species are the white mangrove (rhizophora apiculata), dungun
(Heritiera globosa), ubah (Syzygium spp), ketiau (Ganua motleyana) and
undergrowth piai lasa (Acrostichum speciosum). Water was known the salinity
average of 15,5 o/oo - 22,5 o/oo with mean of pH of 3,75 – 5,5. Results of
research on airtemperature of habitat of proboscis monkey ranged between 25,8 °
C to 33 °C and thehumidity ranged from 71,67% to 81, 33%.
